Missing Fax addresstype

We had a Fax connector we used with Exchange 5.5, and it was migrated over when we switched to Exchange 2003. We recently switched to using a SMTP connector instead and removed the old connector which the vendor advised was no longer supported by Microsoft.

We are now having problems with newly created accounts having their e-mail addresses being generated. Messages sent to that mailbox are delayed in the local queue. The Exchange app log indicates it cannot rebuild RUS because it is missing a the FAX addresstype for i386. What I've tried so far:

- I looked at the RUS policies and unchecked all FAX options. Looked in ADSIEdit for gatewayproxy, and it was blank. Updated RUS, same error in App log (2035)
- Actually removed the Fax options in the RUS and restarted System Attendant. 2035 error still shows up and RUS will not complete.
- Could not find the 'proxyaddressincluded' nor 'proxyaddressesexcluded' objects in ADSIEdit as mentioned in a related forum question
- Bumped up AL and SA logging

In ADSIEdit:
1) Browse to Configuration > Configuration > CN=Services > CN=[domain] > CN=Address Lists Container > CN=Recipient Update Services
2) In the right pane, for each of the entries:
a. Right-click policy and choose properties
b. Scroll through the attributes and for each of these two attributes [proxyAddresses] and [gatewayProxy]:
i. Click Edit
ii. Remove any references to the FAX type
iii. Click OK
c. Click OK

Update and/or Rebuild the RUS entries. The errors are now gone and the new accounts are now showing up correctly in the GAL, etc. I would have had this solved earlier but the policies were only showing 1 of the 2 property pages, and that was where the hidden fax fields remained.
